Oh Lord, please help this firefighter
To be skillful and brave.
Please let me never falter
When there are lives to save.

Be with my fellow firefighters
And ride with us each run,
From the moment we "suit-up"
Until the job is done.

Be with me as I guide a child
Through the dark and smokey haze
Give me strength and courage
As I fight the deadly blaze.

Lord, I put my safety in Your hands,
But in the chaos and the strife,
Help me act with selfless courage
God, just let me save a life.
